In the majority of cases, filing for bankruptcy puts Minnesota residents and businesses back on their feet by erasing or significantly lessening much of their financial burden. In terms of mortgage debts and foreclosure, filing for bankruptcy will almost always alter the conditions of your mortgage debts to some degree. At Behm Law Group, Ltd., our attorneys are dedicated to assisting you in all aspects of bankruptcy in Mankato, MN, including fighting foreclosure and liquidating or apportioning your mortgage debt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The two common types of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, are designed to handle cases of mortgage debt. In both cases, an automatic stay<\/a> will be in place preventing creditors from collecting debts or harassing you during the filing process. An automatic stay is in place for a limited time period, however, and completing the bankruptcy process is vital to stopping foreclosure and alleviating your mortgage debts. Each type of bankruptcy filing treats the issue of foreclosure in different ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 7:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 7<\/a>, or Liquidation Bankruptcy, is a process that will discharge all debts that qualify. This means your mortgage and all other debts that are not considered non-dischargeable under 11 U.S.C. \u00a7523 from the process will be eliminated. If you are behind on your home mortgage payments and you want to keep your home, filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is probably not your best choice because there is no mechanism allowing you to \u201ccure\u201d or pay back your mortgage delinquency over a period of time.\u00a0 A chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding will delay a foreclosure by only about 90 to 120 days while the automatic stay injunctive provisions of 11 U.S.C. \u00a7362 are in effect.\u00a0 \u00a0While the automatic stay will prevent or stop a foreclosure, the relief is only temporary.\u00a0 Generally speaking, after the chapter 7 case is concluded in 90 to 120 days the automatic stay terminates and a creditor can restart or initiate foreclosure proceedings at that time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 13:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Chapter 13<\/a> simple bankruptcy is labeled \u201creorganization bankruptcy\u201d but it really is more aptly referred to as \u201cpartial re-payment bankruptcy\u201d.\u00a0 In a chapter 13, you draft a chapter 13 plan of reorganization in which you specify a particular payment that fits your income and expenses which you pay for a set period of time \u2013 usually 36 to 60 months.\u00a0 In a chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can \u201ccure\u201d or pay back your mortgage delinquency over the 36 to 60 months.\u00a0 After your case is filed, you must still make the regular monthly mortgage payments going forward but the delinquency itself would be paid out of the payments you make through the chapter 13 plan.\u00a0 For instance, assume your regular mortgage payment is $1,000.00 a month and that you are $10,000.00 delinquent.\u00a0 Further assume that your monthly chapter 13 plan payment is $500.00.\u00a0 After you file for bankruptcy relief, you would still need to pay your $1,000.00 regular mortgage payment.\u00a0 However, the $10,000.00 delinquency would be spread over the 36 to 60 month time of your chapter 13 plan.\u00a0 If your plan was a 36 month plan, roughly $277.77 of the aforementioned $500.00 chapter 13 plan payment would go towards the payoff of the $10,000.00 pre-bankruptcy mortgage delinquency ($10,000.00 \/ 36 months = $277.77).\u00a0 If your chapter 13 plan was a 60 month plan, roughly $166.66 of the aforementioned $500.00 chapter 13 plan payment would go towards the payoff of the $10,000.00 pre-bankruptcy mortgage delinquency ($10,000.00 \/ 60 months = $166.66).\u00a0 You must be able to meet this repayment plan to keep your home and stop the foreclosure process. \u00a0\u00a0When the plan is completed, your mortgage debt will be fully cured.<\/p>\n
